About this property

Great location! Historic Schwietzer condo. 1/2 mile to lifts. Mountain views.

  • Cosy condo only 1/2 mile from Schweitzer village. Dog friendly. Enjoy beautiful views of the slopes from two balconies and windows on each level. Four floors of living space includes lower level one-car garage, heated ski storage and laundry room; access the second floor entry via a wide staircase inside a shared corridor, this floor includes the living room, kitchen and dining, a full bath with shower; three third floor bedrooms and full bath with tub/shower are located on third level accessed by a narrow spiral staircase; and the cosy enclosed loft bedroom space on the top floor is accessed via a sturdy ladder. Kitchen is remodeled with maple cabinetry and leathered granite counters. It is fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances, kitchenware and dishes, drip coffee maker (coffee, filters, sugar and creamer provided) small appliances (waffle iron, crockpot, etc) spices and basic staples to cook and serve your meals. Sandpoint local artisan crafted dining table and benches will seat eight guests. 60 inch smart tv located in the small living room. The living room will seat five to six guests. High speed internet. Cosy thermostat controlled gas fireplace powerful enough to heat the entire place but each room also has its own electric heater with thermostat for individual comfort. Sleeps eight in four bedrooms on two levels (third level king, queen, and twin bunks plus queen loft). Refer to photos and photo captions for specifics on bed sizes and dimensions of rooms. New white linens and comfortable mattresses in each bedroom. Small one car garage can accommodate a small SUV or car (garage door has 7 foot height clearance and 9 foot width clearance). Plus parking for one additional car outside. Private high capacity Samsung washing machine and dryer (laundry detergent pods provided) located adjacent to garage in the heated ski storage room. You will find lots of quirky charm in this place as it was only the second condo property constructed on Schweitzer Mountain almost sixty years ago. This historical condo building was completed in 1970 on the mountainside with four stories accessed via stairs, a spiral staircase and a mounted ladder.

    Please take the time to read and understand the condo description and view all photos and photo captions. There are complete details and photos with room dimensions included in the listing. If anything is unclear, don't hesitate to reach out for clarification. We respond quickly during business hours and also check messages round the clock. We would love to have you as our guests, but this condo may not satisfy everyone’s needs and expectations. Secondary bedrooms are compact and guests must be comfortable climbing a spiral staircase or loft ladder.

    This condo is the best value on the mountain for many reason including … Great views of the slopes. Outstanding location just a three minute drive to Schweitzer village. Beds for eight guests. Dog friendly. Low to moderate nightly rates. Flat off-street parking. Cleaned and made ready by professional housekeeping staff. Updated kitchen fully stocked for cooking and serving. Outstanding highly rated responsive management and staff. Etc.

    We look forward to the opportunity to host you and your family/friends. Thank you for considering the quirky purple condo for your stay on Schweitzer mountain. It’s a staff (and guest) favourite.

Really nice condo close enough to Schweitzer. Great ski storage room with laundry right there in same room. Garage was as small as advertised but our car just barely fit. Shuttle service was great but we also walked to/from village with ease.

Great place

This place was great! Just what we needed for two families. Kids loved the spiral staircase. The garage is convenient. My only comment is that the kitchen does not have basic staples, notably cooking oil.

Perfect for our needs

We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was perfect for our lake trip. I do suggest saving the loft for the most nimble adults, its a pretty steep ladder. It was clean, the beds and linens were so soft and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Great little place

My wife booked the place, and it was great. We had a garage for our bikes, and just road them to and from the hill for riding as it was pretty close and convenient. The bathrooms are a bit cramped, and the spiral staircase was not the easiest to get the suitcases up and down, but it was clean and comfortable.

Cute and cozy condo

Nicely decorated condo and fully stocked kitchen. We really appreciated individual temperature controls in each bedroom and the beds were comfortable. Great views of the mountain. As noted, all bedrooms are accessed via a narrow spiral staircase, which could be tough to navigate for some people and for any large suitcases. The living room is a little tight for more than 3-4 people, but was cozy for our family and the fireplace was nice. Hosts would not allow an early check in before 3pm without a $150 fee even though the unit hadn’t been rented for the three days prior but the check in process was easy. We had a nice stay!

Skiing at Schweitzer

The Purple Condo is cozy and cute. The well-appointed kitchen made my chef roomies very happy. Great location to ski Schweitzer. The village shuttle only runs on weekends but can see the Gateway parking lot from the condo and can usually get a spot if arrive by 8:15. It's just a bit too far and hilly to walk in ski boots.Buffy was very responsive through the entire rental process and when we discovered a broken shower head and shovel on our first evening, she was there to replace both within 24 hours. Overall, we had a great experience!

The property needs to be updated and a deep cleaning. Some of the beds are very uncomfortable. The pictures were deceiving, things were dusty and faded. Walls were gray not white which made the room dark.

Modern cozy condo

The condo was beautifully designed, warm and comfortable, with all of the amenities you need. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The only downfall is that it is not ski in/ski out, but it is only a one minute drive to the resort!!

Lovely ski trip

We had a wonderful time in this Schweitzer ski condo! We found it most convenient to drive to the ski area, even though it was very close. Parking was convenient and we could ski in and out from the (free) parking lot.

Although in an older quirky building they have remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms. We were able to navigate the spiral staircase yet it is tight and slow going. Not for someone with mobility issues. The weekend running ski shuttle to the village was fast and super convenient. It was a great value compared to other places in the area.

Great location for ski trip

We stayed here with a group of friends for a ski trip. The rooms are definitely tight for 4 couples, but we knew that going in. The shuttle runs only on weekends and we learned from a neighbor that you can take a trail from the bottom of Parallel Rd to the resort. The cleaniness of the unit was not up to par - we communicated directly to the owner about things they can improve. The Purple Palace is quirky but was pretty much as expected.
